Almost impossible to make a fully compliant BS1363 plug with folding pins. But for Class II double insulated equipment you make it work as there is no need for a electrically functional earth pin. There are /were two designs, Slimplug and Thinplug. Slimplug is the better of the two and came with a C7 connector.

Don’t know where to find one though.

Edit: Lindy used to do them code 48389452 but they are discontinued.

Not sure whether this is a genuine Apple product or a compatible … but it’s nicely done !

It is, however, a USB charger

Edit: Yes it’s the real deal … the oh-so-subtle labelling is down the gulley
